NEXAGEN Cinema Director

Credits
Presets, story packs and direction are free. Element sheets (one image job) and scene videos are paid.
Installing Skills is free. Credits are charged to your NEXAGEN account only when paid generation runs.
Current scope
Good to know, based on the currently public tools.
- No public tool creates new Cinema elements.
- Saved direction (set_cinema_direction) is stored in the account's Cinema session in the NEXAGEN app and is not applied automatically to MCP scene generation; scene options and the prompt carry the direction.
- No pre-submission estimate for scene video.

FAQ
- Can I use any @mention name?
- No. Only mention keys of elements confirmed in the story pack.
- What if I have no elements?
- Create elements in the NEXAGEN app first, or use library images as references.
- Where does direction apply?
- The saved direction is the Cinema session value in the NEXAGEN app and is not applied automatically to MCP scenes; each scene sets its options and prompt, and current saved values are shown before changing them.
